Thanks. This was great. We do feel adrift at this point. Patience needs an occasional reward, something to balance the inevitable disappointments.
Lately I've been reflecting on the real horrors of what the Patriots have seen and heard - things we only know peripherally. They probably cannot sleep. They want justice more than we can possibly imagine. Yet they have the training to stick with the Plan and take things one at a time.
It's important to reflect and consider what others are enduring. Never mind the children themselves.
Gullible, simplistic, don't-worry-be-happy Americans will mostly choose NOT to know.
It is hard to let evil slap you down, only to find there are few people who will help you back up. We've got to go together.
God bless you.
